ok, when i plug a device into IDE 2 on my motherboard, IDE 1 stops working. so if i have 2 hard drives on IDE 1, and 2 CDrom devices on IDE 2, none of them work the IDE2 is interfering with IDE 1 is there a simple way to fix this?
did you make sure that IDE 1 is master. IDE 2 is Slave and on same cable. then put 2 CDRom devices on seperate cable...
Dont forget to spread the reputation to those that deserve!

Check your BIOS and make sure both interfaces are enabled. (I'm assuming it's plugged in to provided ports on your motherboard.)
Also, you may want to add drives one at a time to see if a particular drive creates the problem.

It depends on the make of BIOS you have, but basically you have to hit a certain key just as the computer is booting up (before Windows starts) to enter the BIOS setup. Some common BIOS access keys are F1, F2, and Del.
Once in the BIOS you have to locate the section which has the settings for your IDE channels and devices. Make sure both channels are recognized and enabled. Also make sure your IDE devices are being recognized correctly.
